The lifted and sculpted look has always been fashionable, but it has risen in popularity in recent years with people around the globe searching for tips, tricks and methods to lift their face and restore a more youthful-looking appearance.
From Gua Shas to Face Tape, there are so many methods to choose from, including Microcurrent. The Microcurrent Face Lift is a new phenomenon taking the world by storm with both Zoe Saldana and Mikey Madison transforming their skin with the ZIIP HALO prior to the 2025 Golden Globes.
But just how does this work?
Melanie Simon, creator of the ZIIP HALO, is Hollywood’s first electrical esthetician.
Formulating bespoke and truly unique electrical facial stimulation routines for targeted results soon put Simon on the map with celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, and this is what sparked the creation of the ZIIP HALO.
For those celebrity clients of Simon’s who wanted to be able to tone and lift their face before working on set, or prior to walking the red carpet, Simon soon realised she needed to create a hand-held device that allowed these famous faces to spark marvellous results in just five minutes.
Hence the creation of one of Margot Robbie’s favourite skincare tools - the ZIIP HALO.
With the ZIIP App, you can follow along with ZIIP creator and electrical esthetician, Melanie Simon as she leads her ‘The Lift’ treatment.
Taking less than 5 minutes, this gentle and easy routine will leave you with a defined, lifted appearance for up to 72 hours.
This routine incorporates Nanocurrent as well as Microcurrent. Microcurrent helps to stimulate muscles to get an instant face lift effect, but Nanocurrent will help you to achieve long-term results, including an otherworldly glow and visibly reduced fine lines and wrinkles.
Incorporate ‘4-Minute Facial’ treatment into your regular ZIIP routine, especially before big events so you can feel red-carpet ready, and while you have your phone open for the ZIIP App, we recommend taking some Microcurrent Face Lift Before and After photos so you can really see the difference the ZIIP HALO makes.
Microcurrent uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate the muscles in the face. As happens in exercise, as the muscles contract and relax, they tighten underneath the skin, pulling the skin tauter, giving a lifted appearance.
Microcurrent also sparks increased lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness in the face. This increased definition also contributes to giving that lifted appearance that people associate with an ‘electrical face lift’.
For more of the science behind what exactly Microcurrent is, the ZIIP Guide to At-Home Treatment and Devices explains it all.
The lifting effect should last up to 72 hours after using ‘The Lift’ treatment, but you can prolong this by repeating the routine several times a week.
General guidance is to only use the ZIIP HALO 3-5 times per week, giving your muscles at least 1-2 days to rest and recuperate, as you would with exercise.
This non-invasive treatment requires no downtime and offers you a new, sculpted look from the comfort of your own home.
Prior to discovering the magical power of Microcurrent, you may have turned to injectable treatments to reduce signs of aging. It is fine to use alongside Microcurrent these as the at-home treatment shouldn’t cause any issues.
We do, however, recommend waiting 10 days after treatment to begin re-introducing Microcurrent into your routine.
Microcurrent has many benefits for the skin, from stimulating collagen production to bringing your inner glow out for the world to see, but the face lift effect that Microcurrent offers is by far one of the best and most prolific results to be achieved.
